….AND Damned if ya don’t….

Edy and I took a long ride west yesterday to a storage unit we have with all our remaining stuff in it. It was kind of depressing on a lot of different levels.

For me it was just a reminder of the remaining stuff that has to “go” because it no longer serves me and for Edy,  well,  it was at it’s best a dusty mess that needed Purell to start to clean off the “schmutz” it left on us as we drove back home.

We’re of an age that numerous life-times have been experienced in this particular walk and perhaps numerous more will unfold as we move forward. Rolling up an Overhead door and getting a 12x20 time capsule can be a lot to take in. Remembering that we started with 4 – 53ft Semis adds to my rethinking “possessions” in a big way.

Edy forwarded me a cool link today (www.9types.com) . It is based on Enneagrams. Like Astrological Charts the Enneagram defines 9 types of personalities and goes into depth about the particular character traits. I found it quite accurate and very interesting. There is a quick quiz you can take to find your own information.

What fascinated me the most was not only my own “type(s)” but also Edy’s,  and how we relate to each other. Again, like Astrological signs, there are some strong “traits” that define each sign/type and these are the warp threads of a life that can move in and out to form “the person”. Perhaps these warp threads too offer the structure for families, societies, countries….etc………….with the interweaving of all the “individuals” into the tapestry that “is” at any particular time…………. I feel it’s worth investigating further IF we truly want to relate.
